Dear Prospective Mentor,
I would like to invite you to take part in a program that will give the youth of today a second chance; an opportunity to regain their future and realize their goals. The program I am speaking of is the New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy Mentor Program. In becoming a Mentor, you provide a young person an additional resource for support and guidance.
Your participation is critical to our program and to the future of these young people.
Your role with the youth would be an informal meeting once a week to discuss their goals and plans. At times, you would call the Case Manager to discuss various subjects that would apply to further the youth’s education, obtain employment or resolve problems that they are having. Please read the information concerning the role as mentor in this packet. If you are interested, please complete the application and return it to the youth that has invited you to be their mentor, to be submitted with his/her application, or mail directly to the NMYCA, attention Mentor Coordinator.
Upon receipt of your application a background check will be initiated, you will be contacted for an interview and scheduled for a Mentor Training Workshop. The training is conducted over a five-hour period at New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy in Roswell NM. This training will further prepare and educate you on the purpose and commitment of the New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy Program, our youth, and the role of the Mentor.
If you have any questions or know of someone who would also enjoy being a part of a wonderful and rewarding experience, please contact David Cook, Mentor Coordinator, at 505-347-2251, 8:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our Web Site is www.nmyca.org.
I thank you for your interest and look forward to welcoming you as a New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy Mentor.
